NOTE: In the chart for the USA, Mars, ruling the 10th house of the field of action and professional life, is under the 5th aspect of transit Ketu until December 23rd. This may cause issues with sports, property, executives, engineering, the weather, the military, police and the country in general. Additionally, the current delays, setbacks and obstructions, (Election Results, Covid-19, Legal Challenges, etc.,) are likely due to the close impact of transit Ketu on Saturn, ruling the countryʻs 8th house of delays, setbacks, obstructions, vulnerability, transformations and deathlike experiences. Unfortunately, this impact continues through the presidential inauguration.
Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week
Sun transits Scorpio, from 03:13 to 10:17°. Sun is outside the orb of other planets. This should be helpful for the president, (and president-elect) leaders, physicians, administrators and governments.
Moon is waxing and transits Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and into Pisces.
Mars transits Pisces from 21:16 to 22:03°. Mars remains within 5 degrees of the 5th aspect of Ketu, until Dec. 24th. This is a vulnerable time for sports, surgeons, the military, police, property, construction, engineering, executives, et al. Conflicts and weather issues are also possible.
Mercury transits Libra, from 16:36 to 27:11°. Mercury is under the 8th aspect of Mars until Nov. 25th. Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies and countries should be careful and patient.
